Importance of Urdu Language

(muhammadsirajuddin, karachi)

In our country the craze of
English language is at its peak. Our local language is Urdu then why we are
giving much importance to English. Japan, China, Germany, Korea and Russia they
all are well developed countries but they do not know English and if you want to
work in these countries then you have to learn their local languages,
development does not means that everyone in your country is communicating in
English development can be achieve by generating an environment of local
language, and if we keep promoting the language of other countries then the day
is not far away when we will forget our culture along with our language and will
be following the culture of other countries if I am not wrong then we are
already following the culture of western countries which is totally against our
religious and social point of view . The person talking in English is
considering most honorable in our society why? Who will give me the answer of my
question who is responsible for this cross connection of culture and language?
There are so many English learning institutes in Pakistan they all are busy in
teaching language to the local peoples, to get the knowledge of other languages
is not the thing to be anxious but to give more than required importance on our
mother tongue is the thing to be anxious. In our education system we can the
dominance of English language a person get his early education from a government
school and college when went to universities for higher education then the
teacher expect from him to communicate in English how he can speak English when
he have a weak English background the person is not responsible for this
instance it is the government who is responsible for the importance of English
in our Education system if you cannot speak English then there should be a
choice for the student to express his point of view in Urdu but we are the
bagger of the line and the teachers don’t allow even a regular talk in Urdu
inside the class room.

Now a days you can see that what is the status of Urdu speakers in our country
some politicians are talking rubbish about the Urdu speakers but they do not
know the world knows Pakistani nation as Urdu speaker no rather than sindhi,
Panjabi, Pashto and balochi I am not degrading any language I just want to
acknowledge the importance of Urdu language they should respect their mother
tongue as well as its speakers and should promote a Urdu friendly environment in
the country.

Siraj Bhai As-Salam-o-Alekum. I appriciate your idea and love to your language, actually this is due to the instinct of 300 years of slavery. Nations cannot prosper without their own language, Urdu is very friendly language for new commers and if some one wants mastery in it so keep this in mind this is the language of Lashkar so it has Turkish,Persian,Arabic, Sanskirt language in it. This is also natural that Languages take toan from other Languages and also returned to them, as many Arabic words used in English like cover is the arabic word and there are many examples can be shown. Every one can understand any knowledge better in his own environmental language and then we can approach foreign languages as per our requirement. Urdu is the only language in the World that an Urdu speaker can pronounce well any of the language but peoples of other languages surely cannot pronounce very well.I have an experience to roam arround the world and came accross 15 to 18 languages and have seen this phenomenae myself, the accent and alphbets of Urdu can cover any type of pronounciation.Punjab Govt. has made lot of technical books in Urdu and this is the appreciable. You are very true that we should promote Urdu. Thanks
